Lausanne Afterwork Drinks, MGM Café, Ouchy - N° 18
At this 18th Drink there was an incredible number of people I never met before, nearly 30 out of the 80 glocals present.

Surprisingly there is always a close gender parity (slightly more women).

And the magic worked again, the somewhat severe expressions of new members on arrival, not knowing what was going to happend to them, turned into expressive faces involved in lively discussions, an hour later (see the pictures).

As a first I should mention an important delegation of 11 members from Geneva.



Many thanks to Smitty for his enthousiastic help in name tagging and together with irish_eyes and berlinoise, for the reception of lost souls.



Thanks to all for coming in high spirits and hope to see you again at the following drinks on Friday July 4th or August 8th (not the 1st).

That was a great way to start the w/end again! Most needed!... esp after the week I've had ...Smitty was as cool as ever!



Nice to see some of the GE crowd 'mingling-on-down' with LoLers (Cerise, Joannasi & Mr_Scientist ...to name drop just a few). Apparently GE's drinks have become a bit too 'cliché', so now some are joining us - as we just want to get out there and meet a whole variety of people, and with J's charisma, it works trumps everytime!



Oh and Jasp, I think Jumpman has taken quite a few photos to boost up your numbers, brill! :-) J.

Yes I took some quite nice pictures. Removed the red eyes, resized them and sent them to Jasper.



I think they will be online soon with the once from Jasper...

Thank you Jens for taking those nice pictures - they will all be posted soon including mine.



Because of the cold rainy weather, we stayed inside and sufficient room could be made by moving tables out of the way. Because I'd a sore throat and had lost my voice, I had to leave rather early. So unfortunately it was not possible for me to meet many people.

Hi Jasper,



second time I joined the "Lausanne after work drinks" and it was as good as the first time! Wondering how it would have been with a little bit of sun...:)

Well thanks Jasper and Mr. T..!  It was a pleasure, and it gives you more time to talk to other people and for me to introduce myself by giving them name tags.! :-)

So if the occasion rises again, I'm your man.
